How we handle bath resealing in Preston Plucknett
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

What else we do in Preston Plucknett
What affects the price in Preston Plucknett
We don’t charge extra for travel to Preston Plucknett. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Preston Plucknett
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
Everywhere in the UK, Preston Plucknett included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover Preston Plucknett?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Preston Plucknett for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When to call us in Preston Plucknett
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why it’s worth resealing in Preston Plucknett
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
